Just playing with a flower stamp from the dollar bin, sentiment from Hero arts. Today I am leaving to go to Holland and Paris and the weather seems to be lovely there!!! At least no snow and no minus zero temperatures. I am leaving everybody else at home with lots of homemade casseroles in the freezer and I do have another post pre set for sometime next week, hopefully Mr. Blogger will cooperate.Have a great day and thanks for stopping by, Anja

The challenge over at the blog from Just Rite is to make a card of a project for an act of kindness and since I needed one, I decided to play and submit my card.You can read all the details HERE.I stamped the heartfelt thanks and the frame with chocolate chip craft ink and used some of the papers from DCWV, the stamps are from the new sets Fancy Tags and Elegant Frames. Did I tell you already how much I love those stamps!! I used some of the new Just Rite spellbinders tags and added some brads, the ribbon is from my stash and attached with the stapler from Tim Holtz. The cream paper has a pearl finish but still beautiful to stamp on. I decided to add a little bling on the corners, hard to see, but if you click on the picture you can take a better look.Hope you like it, have a great day and thanks for stopping by, Anja

The dp is from.....my collection, let's put it that way, LOL!Of course I had to add some stickles, ribbon and bling.Hope you get to enjoy some of the lovely spring like weather, I am going for a walk, thanks for stopping by, Anja

By now you will know that I am in a Just Rite mood....don't have a lot of time to stamp these days but when there is some time, the Just Rite's are inked up!For this card I have used a different colour combo, I went with the dp from the Paper studio.It's hard to get a good picture, even with a phototent and OTT light. More ideas are going through my head so I better do some cleaning up first and then....hopefully I can stamp for a little while. Have a great day and thanks for stopping by, Anja

Put your sunglasses on and crook your head a little bit, now you can take a look at this bright card. The rose is from Heartfelt creations, stamped in 3 different sizes, coloured with prisma's and Gamsol and then cut out and popped up. I also put some stickles on them.The rest of the card is pretty basic, the background is one of the newer Sizzix embossing backgrounds. The sentiment is from Stampendous.Have a great day, Anja

Good morning Ladies, welcome to my blog! If you are a regular visitor, you might think, what is going on.....well, today we are having a BLOGHOP!! Starting at the blog from the wonderful store from Sheila, SCRAPPINGREATDEALS!! Start here and learn all about Sheila and you are at the start of the bloghop.

If you are on your way of this bloghop, you should have come from Andrea's blog. I am sure you had a wonderful time there, she is such a talented lady and sooooooo much fun to be around!

Please, make sure you start HERE and leave a comment at each blog in order to have a change to win some CANDY!!

Your next stop should be Carol's blog, go visit her, leave a comment and check out her creativity!

Why we do a blog hop, we (Sheila's Diva's) would like to (re-) introduce ourselves with either a layout or card about ourselves. I do love to scrapbook, but stamping has pushed scrapbooking to a second place, so I made a card and I am posting a picture of myself and my husband.

An Anja card, as I like to call it, flowers, bling and ribbon, love the elegant cards.

A few things about myself.......I love to stamp, spending time with my family, shop, create.
